NEXT ROUND OF RAIN IS MOVING IN. TONY'S UP NEXT AT FIVE. BACK TO YOU. YOU HAVE HEARD ABOUT THEM FOR QUITE SOMETIME NOW BUT COME NEXT MONTH SUNRAIL WILL OFFICIALLY OPEN FOR RIDERS. COMPANIES HAVE JUMPED ON THE COMMUTER LINE BY PURCHASING THOUSANDS OF TICKETS. WESH 2'S GAIL PASCHALL-BROWN IS LIVE AT THE SUNRAIL STATION IN WINTER PARK. GAIL, WHAT'S THE LATEST? WE CAN TELL YOU THE REASON THESE COMPANIES AND ORGANIZATIONS ARE BUYING THESE TICKETS BECAUSE THEY WANT TO GET PEOPLE EXCITED ABOUT THE $1.3 BILLION SUNRAIL PACKAGE THAT WILL BEGIN RUNNING MAY FIRST. YOU MIGHT SEE SOME EVENTS AT VARIOUS PARTS OF CENTRAL FLORIDA. THOSE PASSES MIGHT BE FOR FREE. BOTTOM LINE, WANT TO GET EVERYONE EXCITED SO THEY WILL RIDE THE RAILS. COME MAY 1ST SUNRAIL WILL OFFICIALLY SAY ALL ABOARD THIS NEW COMMUTER RAIL LINE EQUIPPED TO CARRY AS MANY PASSENGERS AS ONE LANE OF I-4 DURING PEAK TRAVEL PERIODS. I AM VERY EXCITED AND I CAN'T WAIT TO ACTUALLY TRY IT MYSELF IN FACT, THE ORLANDO REGIONAL REALTOR ASSOCIATION BOUGHT 1,000 REFILLABLE SUNRAIL CARDS FOR ITS MEMBERSHIP. IT'S ALL ABOUT TWO THINGS. SUPPORTING TRANSPORTATION AND GIVING MORE TRAVEL OPTIONS FOR POTENTIAL HOMEOWNERS. WE'RE DO THIS FOR SUPPORT OF THE SUNRAIL AND THE GOOD REALLY MANTRA. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. IT'S GETTING MORE AND MORE IMPORTANT WHEN PEOPLE ARE PURCHASING HOMES. OTHER ORGANIZATIONS LIKE THE ORLANDO REGIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE HAS PURCHASED 2,000 PASSES. MOST WILL BE GIVEN AWAY THROUGH EVENTS AND PROMOTIONS. SUNRAIL HAS PRE-SOLD MORE THAN 12,000 PASSES. SUNRAIL CARDS WERE ON SALE TODAY AT THE DOWNTOWN CAPITAL PLAZA ONE BUILDING ON EAST PINE STREET IN ORLANDO. PATRONS CAN ALSO PURCHASE CARDS AT THE CENTER ON MAGNOLIA AVENUE.
